Even though it is the last of the trilogy,it's not a continuation of the previous two, except with a few side characters but it is a continuation on the lives of coal mining families. This novel is so true to life regarding raw human emotions. The central point is the reality of the struggles and suffering that miners and their families had to endure during the great miners strike of I had no idea of the atrocities that the British Government, Margret Thatcher and her party had committed to squash the strikers by succumbing to a police state all in the name of fighting "the enemy within.
This is also a story of the ups and downs of love, friendship and family relations. Highly recommend his book, it will make you believe in Love.

All three books in Janet McLeod Trotter's Durham Trilogy provide an engaging view of the hardships experienced in a mining village. The characterisations are real and the stories wound around real events. Once you start with book one you will want to finish all three, so best to buy all three at the same time!
At the heart of the storm is the passionate relationship between Carol, the pit manager's rebellious daughter and Mick, one of the miners.
What is Kobo Super Points?
The battle that is dividing the nation and threatening the survival of their community could also destroy their union. The consequences of the strike are still being felt today and the book was written largely for people, like myself, who lived through the strike but had little or no understanding of the acute hardship that the miners and their families suffered.

In particular, the courage and fortitude of the women are celebrated and the book is a tribute to them. Whilst this is a family saga I also hope that it will challenge the reader to re-visit in the light of subsequent events.
A tough, compelling and ultimately satisfying novel. Janet paints a vivid picture of the toil and heartaches in a typical North East pit community Another classy, irresistible read.
She pulls no punches, tells it like it is and taps directly into your emotions. It was taut reading and impossible to put down! Well the book - couldn't put it down, each time I picked it up it was just one page more, just one more It really was an excellent book. I - Western Australia.
